While on holiday a few days ago in Edinburgh, Scotland, I went into a
second-hand bookstore whose proprietor began to admire my M2.

"I haven't seen one of these in years - is it a genuine Zeiss-made
Contax or one of the Russian copies".


A day earlier, and elderly gentleman had stopped me in the street and
said "That's a Leica, isn't it?" He peered at it more closely, then
shook his head.  "Oh no, it's one of those Leica copies."

Regards,
